Ocular loaiasis in France: the first case report from Brittany

description We report the case of a 21-year-old Cameroonian woman residing in France for one year, who presented to our department with left eye discomfort and itching. Examination revealed a mobile translucent cord beneath the nasal-inferior conjunctiva, prompting suspicion of loaiasis. Anesthesia was administered for extraction, revealing a 31 mm male Loa loa. A positive microfilarial load, albeit low, confirmed the diagnosis and the diagnostic workup excluded other locations. Treatment with diethylcarbamazine was well-tolerated. This case highlights the importance of considering loaiasis in non-endemic regions and underscores the need for interdisciplinary collaboration in its diagnosis and management.
